Parisi with dispatchq, . , ,171AMBURGH, MARCH 18.-4)11 the 13th instant the King of Prussia issued a Decree for the future regulation of the commercial intercourse With his States. The preamble and principal clauses are. as • follow " Although by our edicts issued in Pursuanee of. the Treaty of Tilsit, and partictnarly the regulation of the t tth Junei. 1808, we conceive that we have completely effe6ted the intended suspension of all commercial intercourse with England, we neVerthe less. feel ourselves called upon by the example of the numerous measures recently adopted by his Ma jesty the Emperor Napoleon upon this subjedi hereby to enforce our previous Decrees and Regu lations directed to the attainment of the above-men.:. Coned object • . " From the ist of April no vessel, coming from an European port, shall be admitted into our ports,, if her cargo consists of any other articles than such European corrmiodities and products as are -admis sible-according .to the Continental , system. Medi cinal drugs are the ouly articles excepted from this rugulation. • - • - 2. In future, therJfore, 'none of.lhe articles denominated Colonial, cr East and,z , Wiisetiidia pro duce, shall be permitted .to be imported from any European port, inasmuch as it is not to be supposed, much less aduallyknown, that such European States. as possess colonies, procure, or can procure, therefrom a. surplus beyond the supply' of their- own wants. _ Colonial and extra European produce can be imported, .direat, by sea, only from American ports; and. 'such importations must be confined to the produce of East and West India territories and colonies on. a fooling off amicable understanding and commercial:relation with ,France. " All articles of East or 'West India produce found on board vessels cominr , from a port in Europe, shall be instantly confi,cattS. 3. As the extent and magnitude of operations of this. italore . preclude the supposition of a Dumber of separate owners - , or c)tisignees, Oct) cargoes will, not, in future; be . permitted to be . cleared for ac count of more than one . coMmeciallionse for each cargo imported.' • "4. The examination of the ship's papers, in,. voices of the Cargo; the 16g-book, the master, ant) the crew, and the clearance of the cargo will belong,. as usual, to our 'Commissioners for Trade at the . re-' spedive ports; nevertheless, for the more efftsduar prevention of traud, and the avoidance of all fnture, ..collisions, the certificates of origin of the different article, composing the cargoes, shall be c“mmuni. cated for examination, to the Imperial and Royal French Consuls-General, Consuls, or Vice-Consuls,. established at the ports of arrival. " Should the latter entertain any scruple as to the admissibility of. the cargoes, the Commissioners . for Trade shall forthwith transmit a detailed state ment of the case to our Office for Foreign Affairs, and wait its decision thereon, before taking and ftir ther steps with regard to the.cargoes. " 5. All'articles of Extra-European produce, at the moment of landing, and befote the permission being granted to convey them either to licensedsna-, gazines, or to private repositorie,, undei the key or supervisiOn• of one of our Officers, shall pay the duty upon . consumption ; whereby, all distinction as to -a declaration for transmit or home consumption is done away. We prefer the total renunciation of the advantages'of transit, to exposing ourselves to the danger, by any uncertainty as to the proofs of origin, notwithstanding all our precautions, of cop, clueing to the importation of doubtful commodities . into other States."

Though the injury to the Wheat plants has cer tainly been considerable in several of the Corn Distriets, from the slug and wire-worm, particu larly in.the Southern and Western counties, yet in many parts it proves that the blade has only been taken by the slug, and the coronal short remains: untouched. Too much of this kind, it is to be feared, has been hastily and unnecessarily ploughed up. The demand for Spring Wheat, to supply this ;defect, has, been very great throughout Lincoln shire, at the alarming price of 235: per bushel.— Unfortuoately; the prospe& of a prododive Wheat. Harvest is not to be looked fur. The latter Lent Corn Season has proVed very favourable - through" the month, and the seed was- never known to be better got in. The early sown Peas' and Beans have suffered much by the heavy rains towards the close of the preceding month. Spring- seed at present short and backward.. A large breadth of early Potatoes arc getting in in most counties, to supply the probable defed in .the brea&corn crops. The Meat Markets continue on the-spring rise, al though Lean Stock is somewhat. lower. The Wool" trade is whet dull, scarcely supporting the February prices. ,11(.11LE CIRCUIT: SU' REY ASSI Is.. KINGSTON, THURSDAY, MARC* Sp. CIVIL SIDE. CON..--WERE V. KERNING; Mr. GA it OIV stated, that this 'was. an otkion - , brought by-the plaintiff, to recover damages for that most scriotts'injury, - the debauching of his wife.— Hitherto aZ.itions of this Sort bad usually been con, fined to the,higher classes of society, but the pre.. .Sent case was.une where a poor man- soUght.redress "for the destru&ion of his domestic pe a ce. O n a comparison of the evil endured in a family by a profligate's debauching a married woman, it would be found to tall much heavier when it happened to a poor man than when it happened to a rich .one.-- Wealth presented 'many alleviations_ to the misfor tunes of life, and when dOmestie calamity fell upon. , a rich man, he had many resources .at, band froth which be might derive alleviation to his misfortunes., Not so with the pohr man ; he sought all his refuge,. frem milfortuneS and vexation. in the bosom of-his family, and if .that resort were containinated;he had no. where to look for consolation;' He trusted, there fore, the.. Jury would take this circumstance into their consideration, 'and let it weigh when they were . . -about to adjust the measure`of their damages. The" plaintiff,. he should now state to 'them, was:certainly juin humble sphere of. life, he was a lath render ' by trade,.residing at Lambeth * and. he lived with his': wife iii perfea harmony'and 'domestic felicity.. until they .became aequainted with the . defendant, who. was a, dealer in .wood: The plaintiff went to Exeter in 1807, taking with him his child, Avith a view of leaving it at his • mother's, who resided in that neighbourhOod;and had desired to have one of her grand-children ; and as helvas under. some embar rassment, his wife .advised him to stay until he settled With an importunate creditor. The defen dant took advantag e of his absence, and debauched his wife, getting her with , child: When the plain 'tiff heard of it, and reproached hitu wish this breach of frfendhip, he avowed and justified. what he had -done, 'saying he had truly got her- with child, and that it was doing a useful ad for the State; that if auyadion was brought against him, he 'would go and live "within the Rules of the King's Bench; where he would get her with child' again and again. Mr. GARHOW said, he hoped the -Jury would take the Whole of this into their consideration, and mulct him to the extent he deserved. The register was put in, and it appeared. that the plaintiff and his wife.were ma ied at Lambeth on the gal oiNovember, 1803. By the evidence of his journeyman it appeared; that when he. went to Exeter, in 1807, the defen dant was in the habit of conlit?g to the honse and sleeping with his mistress. It was also in evidence, that she afterwards . went to live at No. 9 ) Long lane, _where he cunsiantly cohabited with her. When witnesses were called to prove the manner , in which they lived togeiher, it appeared, that they were not the most loving of .married pars. He Nas -frequently in the habit of d-n-g her for a ; and upon one 'occasion she resented it so highly, that 'she cut-open his head with: a (ran bottle. When he went away he, was absent for a twelvetnonth, and she Supported helsell by taking a wet-nurse's place. Mr; Serjeant BT.ST - addressed the Jury on. behalf of the defendant, who gave,a veldi6t fur the plaintiff ) , Avith 51. damages. LUCKER V. ILkAItY. • Mr. Serjeant SHEPHEIiD st!,ted, that this was an aifitiOn to recover damages for an . assdirlt. Tho plaintiff was an honest tradesman, residing at Chertsty, who, on the 9th of November last, was, with his apprentice, dragging home a truck, loaded with lead, he being a plumber. The defendant' was a Gentleman : Jeltu, and squared his elbOws.', with as Much piide as any member of the Whip Club. He was driving in the road with his buggy,. and a Aaddle horse tied to the side, but 'though he dressed like a coachman, he drove like aGentlernan, for unskilfully breaking out of the road, he nearly . upset the plaintiff's truck, who making but a slight. complaint, the. defendant, to shew his consistency w►th the chara&er he assumed,• descended to a great deal of. low abuse, and adually laid hiS horse whip acro,s the shoulders of thisrespeciabletradesman. The' journeyman would base turned to and thrashed this. charioteer,' but the master more wisely had demanded redress from the Law. .• The case being proved as the Learned Serjeant stated it, ' Mr. GARRO\V, for the defendant, vindicated 'the cliarader of the Whip Club froni the. indignity of being supposed to drive a gig - with a horse tied to it. If any one of them had been - compelled to do so un coachmattlike a antic-, it would have required a double dose of gin atiql bitters to have revived his spirits. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 401. HANLEY, ESQ. V. GASTON THE YOUNGER. On Friday was tried, before the Lord Chief Baron of his Majesty's Court of Exchequer, a cause Which. ,excited considerable interest: The offences com plained of were conbidered prejudicial to the revenue as well as io the public. The action was brought against the defendant, a Post Master, for chinging travellers a greatet• number of rn:les than he ac counted for with the plaintiff, the farmer of the duty, and for ornittivg to enter in the Stamp-Office a weekly account kept by him of thc true number at miles, both going and returning, of several horses let out. for bite by him, the 'entire omission of others, and the.ninission of the number and de scription of the carriages in those'accutints, as re quired by the Statute, all of which tending to eva sion and. concealment, when a verdict was given against the defendant on twenty penalties, ~bei ng 2001. , _ • _ _ SATURDAY, MARCO 31.

To our summons he returned so evasive an an swer as tendered the immediate: disernbarkmi9n of the troops necessary. These consisted of a detach ment of the Royal Artillery-under Captain Cleeve, two eight-inch howitzers,) some Royal artificers. under _Captain Hobbs, nine compa nies of the,2sth regiment under Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart, and a Company of the 4th West-India Regiment, the whole of which landed at Little Cele Bay; and took up a position near it without oppo sition: During the night ,of .the 14th,. a letter was rent in from, the Duch Governor, offering to capita • late, and namin the persons on his part authorized to ~treat with triose we. might nominate for that purpose: _ _ • • . . Brigadier-General Skinner was nam e d by me, and Captain Dowers of the Royal Navy; by Cuin modore Fahie, and in the course of the 15th, terse .officers concluded Articles of Capktulation, precisely in conformity to your Excellency's instruations,' •and varying very little, if at all; from those of Gna . .dalcilioe. : It was stipulated in this Capitulation, that it shoidd be ratified by the Governor, at the latest by five o'clock in .the same afternoon, and that the print a pt forts of the enemy should be taken posseriion of immediately on - the ratification ; somewhat pre% i )0 , 4 to which, however, the Dutch COmmisiionets 'ie- turned, and so earnestly itnploted an extension art until eight O'clock in the morning of the pledgiog their 'honour that, whatever might he' tii e decision of the Governor, in reg:irtt to ratifying tl e Capitulation, he would at all events give us ,po , re,- s'on of the Forts at that hour the next morning.; this further indulgence was granted,. At the hour appointed 'on the 16th, I marched towards the town and forts, prepared for' any ot-.. currence that might arise, but certainly little ex• pealing. that which happened; for the Governor, who was also Military Commandant, met me on the and told me,, " he. surrendered himself and the garrison under his orders at discretio”:" Whilst he was'thus . expressing himself, the Dutch .colours were struck, and the garrison marched out 'to the'place appointed, where they laid tkwn tlieir arms,. and were embarked 'A's prisoners of war, on board- his Majsty'-s ships, and our trocTs took possession of the Forts Louis and Amsteidatir. In this:nnexpected state of 'things, every measure has beenand shall , be-adopted, -which-,liberality fin the one hand, bitt a due regard to . :his M a jesty's interests on the other, can dictate.. - And first, in Order to trangnilize-the public on a subjeC.i of such importance •to :the community, I lost no time in assembling theCotincil, and stating •to them these sentiments generally, assuring them that no un-_ generous advantages would be taken of their un, proteeto situation ; 'which .comtnunication I an happy' to 'inform you, completely answered the de. -sired end. Such . further 'arrangements as shall appear neces sary I shall forthwith adopt, and sr.bmit for your Excellency's consideration. The:refu,al of the Dutch Governor. to ratify the 'terms of Qapitylation is to be ascribed, as he stated . to me himself, to our rejection' of the inadmissible pi °- prigs' of " his troops being sent direct to Holl Ind;" and on failing, to" obtain this objeet, he came to the extraordinary resolution of surrendering at discretion, thereby leaving the 'interests of the Colony' wholly nnprovided for. Althongli the nature of the service has 1:ot -af ' forded a field for 'the display,of the ad ive .• merits of the troops, I am not less bound to express toy entire saiisfaCtien'of their disc:plire. .and r , g:11a -rity, and I feel much obliged to Brigadier Other ral Skinner f .r his advice and assistance on all occa sions.

The criminal, whose name was Wincze, was originally of Nuremburg, but removed to Augs burgh in 1788, where he followed the law. In this city he becamein,linate in the family of M.. Glegg, ko whose daughter he paid his addresses; but the Old man not sandioning his visits, he met the daughter privately, seduced her, and persuaded'her, in order to remove the only obstacle to their union, to administer poison to her father. Tie horrid plan succeeded, no suspicions were entertained, and their union put hiM in possession of the old man's • wealth. During a period of twenty-one years they lived externally happy, but, in secret, a preysto the • • greatest remerse. At length, unable to endure any l onger the weight .of guilt, the wife made confession t uf the' particulai ! ..of the atrocious crime she - had °e'en prevailed on to commit; the husband was ap- Ptehended, and both expiated their guilt by au igno luinieus death. • . • • SACRILEGE.. —A few days ago,, a . person genteelly dressed went into the parish church of St. - Veltat, Voster-lane, during Morning service, and stole seve ral prayer books; tie was noticed to go into two or three of the pews, but from his .respectable` ap- Pearance, no suspicion could. be entertained .of his i ntentions.
